Well they installed a smart meter on my house today....
I remember a lot of threads on here about these things a while ago here on GLP. I never really read too much about them, but everyone seemed to be pretty pissed off about them.

What are some things I should know about them?
Will my tomato plants be ok?
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving.

They transmit about 6 times a day.
One very short blast of radio frequencies.
Dangers are highly over rated.

The spark plugs in a car produce way more harmful energies.

lol so what are your thoughts on the power company remotely accessing your furnace and preventing it from turning on?

perhaps one day, the smart meter attached furnaces/ airconditioners may not turn back on..

thats just for starters.

do research

We were NEVER given a choice. They came by and changed it. I asked about it, and was told it was being done because it was cheaper, more reliable, and was tamper resistent.

I asked about what was going to happen to all the meter readers. They are out a job, but my electric bill would be smaller. My bill is now 30% bigger.

It was a fast install for sure. I was sleeping when it happened and woke up when the power went out. it was only off for maybe 2 minutes at most.

One was installed on my house and I have not had a bill in three months. I called about it and they said they are having problems with it and will eventually send a bill.

I noticed the upgrade install and I walked up to the guy and all I said was "I don't want a smart meter". He took the old one off and said my air conditioning would still work. 2 days later I had the air conditioning guy out to fix it and he said the guy must of crossed some wires taking it off and blown a fuse. I dunno, at least it happened when it wasn't too hot outside. No one can take control of my heat or air now. I haven't seen a bill in the mail for the fuse yet either.
